Authors James and Deborah Howe and illustrator Alan Daniel's 1979 picture book Bunnicula serves as the inspiration for this collection of 20 episodes from the 2016-17 first season of the Cartoon Network-aired animated series centered on the creepy Scooby-tinged antics of the titular vampire rabbit (scrambly-voiced by Chris Kattan), suspicious cat Chester (Sean Astin), and doofy dog Harold (Brian Kimmet). These three pets of 13-year-old Mina (a Lydia in Beetlejuice-type) engage in various shenanigans as ethereal Bunnicula (with glowing red eyes and dark magic otherworldly abilities) attracts creepy creatures and Chester and Harold band together to clean up the usual mess. In “Mumkey Business,” Chester's use of Mina's magically-protected key unlocks a green-faced monkey who wreaks havoc on the house; “Spider Lamb” features an evil magical book—and a pretty good Lord of the Rings Gandolf joke—that leads to the appearance of a gross spider creature that slings cozy web sweaters and lays eggs. Also including “Garlicked,” “Evil Cat Videos,” “Chester's Shop of Horrors,” “Bride of Bunnicula,” and a woebegone home-ec assignment in “Ghost Chef,” this eerie slapstick series is a strong optional purchase.
